Devita Davison

Hi I'm Devita, the Executive Director of FoodLab Detroit, a nonprofit organization that works to provide entrepreneurs with technical assistance, workshops, resources and the skills they need to start and grow a strong values-based food business. FoodLab is committed to serving low-resourced entrepreneurs of color and sees good food entrepreneurship as a way to build power and resilience for traditionally marginalized people and communities and promote environmental sustainability through business practices and civic engagement by entrepreneurs. Whether decrying injustices in the food system or expounding on the beauty of a ripe strawberry in summer, my passion for food justice work is palpable. I combine my passion for culinary arts with activism and entrepreneurship by writing on local food systems and facilitating workshops with the Brooklyn Food Coalition, the WKKF Foundation, Just Food, Netroots Nation, TEDxDetroit, TEDxBrum, Change Food and BALLE.

Empowering community members to control food access and production independently of outside food sources.

Let's work in ways that regenerate our lives, our communities, and the planet!

I'm a Wunderlust so packing smart is my specialty!
